What a joyful way to spend a Sunday!


On Sunday 22nd March, we welcomed a wonderful group of mini creatives (and parents) to our Easter-themed When Alice Sleeps Create Club and it truly was one colourful morning!

Tables filled quickly, sleeves were rolled up and the friendly colouring fun had begun.


A big thank you to everyone who came along, you made the morning very special and the hard work we put in planning, creating the artwork for you and organising each event worthwhile.

We saw:

  • Our giant colouring poster brought to life with colour and personality

  • Creative Alice Bunny masks designed, made, and proudly worn

  • Beautiful 3D wooden flowers and bookmarks, each completely unique

  • Smiles, focus and that lovely excitement and proudness that comes from simply making something

Why Simple Creativity Matters

At When Alice Sleeps, what we do is simple — and that’s exactly the point.

Life is busy. Work takes over. Phones constantly demand attention and quality family time can easily slip down the list.


That’s why Create Club exists.


It’s a space to:

  • Slow down

  • Switch off

  • Spend real time together

Because sometimes, the best thing you can do is sit down and make something (with yummy cake too).


There’s no “right way” to join in and that’s what we love about our Create Club sessions.

Yesterday we saw:

  • Parents chatting while children coloured

  • Grown-ups joining in with colouring themselves

  • Families creating side by side

  • Children confidently making their own creations

You can colour, make, chat or just take a moment — it’s entirely up to you.


(Almost) No Phones Allowed :)

We encourage everyone to put phones away and be present.

The only exception?.... Taking lots of photos of your little one’s creations!

But, don’t forget to tag us @whenalicesleeps when you share them — we love seeing what you’ve made and it’s the perfect way to show others what they missed too!


A big thank you to Caffe Botanico for being such a fantastic host.

Their friendly, attentive team always help create a warm, welcoming space for our sessions and we love partnering with them.
